15 Apr 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What controversial polls does Aella conduct about sex and relationships?

0.031 - 8.546 Ryan Broderick

Quick question for the two of you. How often do you two shower? Do you shower normally? Do you shower once a week, twice a week?

0

8.746 - 13.455 June Sternbach

I forgot to shower this morning. That's why my hair looks like this, which is very embarrassing.

0

13.475 - 14.396 Ryan Broderick

Did you shower last night?

0

14.416 - 14.937 June Sternbach

I did, yeah.

0

15.438 - 16.42 Ryan Broderick

Okay, that's fine.

16.484 - 38.438 Josh Boerman

I'm a night showerer. I know that's controversial. People are like, you can't do that. You're going to be in your filth. I can't help it. I'm sorry. But I also didn't shower last night because I was busy seeing an Elvis impersonator. And I got to say, I get why Gen X is like that. I understand. Elvis is cool. Yeah. Elvis is kind of dope. And I understand why they're all fascists now.

40.601 - 43.305 Ryan Broderick

Well, there's a lot there. We can get into that in a second.

43.345 - 44.567 Josh Boerman

There's a whole pipeline. Yeah.

60.68 - 79.988 Ryan Broderick

While we're still talking about showering, I do want to say for our video viewers, my hair is a little curly today because I have run out of conditioner. And I want to say that I discovered... I came across a video of this very cool lesbian chef on YouTube who was talking about her hair routine because I guess she got a lot of comments about it.

Chapter 2: How do rationalists influence Aella's views and actions?

638.406 - 651.525 Ryan Broderick

There's an accent. There's, like, a Comic-Con accent and a Comic-Con face, and Ayla has one, and I sort of hadn't connected it, that, like, a lot of the accelerationists and sort of Silicon Valley people have, like, Comic-Con faces.

651.545 - 657.754 June Sternbach

Yeah, I've been watching BBC Sherlock for a while, and, you know, I...

0

657.734 - 662.36 Ryan Broderick

I'm pretty sure that Rickenback Falls will make John Locke.

0

662.46 - 676.417 Josh Boerman

So I think you're touching on something sort of interesting that I've noticed recently. I've seen people because you're sort of saying that this is sort of an old aesthetic of like convention going right. Like it's not necessarily how it is today is what you were saying. There was an interesting thing. I don't really have a name for it.

0

676.437 - 686.509 Josh Boerman

I don't remember the little web series I saw it from off the top of my head. But the the proliferation of social media has sort of changed that because like that's quirk chunk right these days.

686.489 - 710.758 Josh Boerman

doesn't really hit it off on social media the same way everything is like pristine everything is like shiny like perfect beautiful on social media especially in like time going scenarios like back in the day you'd see people wearing like a shitty robe like in a shitty orange robe and like naruto running around and now it's like everyone has like the craziest get-ups and it's like film crew level type like filmography and like camera work and it's like that is sort of fact

710.738 - 721.168 Josh Boerman

Very professional as, like, back in the day, it was very earnest. It was very quirk-chungus. The quirk-chungus has no longer invoked. Now, we've de-chungus as a culture, I would say.

721.528 - 734.1 Ryan Broderick

We have de-chungus. And just a sort of final glimpse of what this culture was like, one of the top comments on this photo album was, I laughed, I fapped. What else can you ask for?

734.14 - 739.885 June Sternbach

Fuck yes. Fapped. Now, that comment date, I need to know when that was.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of Aella's history as a cam girl?

1673.989 - 1689.913 Ryan Broderick

And then it's like, well, this woman is doing that. And then she's also listing all of the times that she's been abused in those spaces. And like, you can see the cognitive dissonance just sort of shaking around in this, in this blog post that it's yeah. Sad is the word I would use for it.

1689.893 - 1715.074 Josh Boerman

i i think she is also just very good at reading the internet like the the mood of the internet i mean just looking back at some of her earlier posts she was sort of on the forefront of like that chungus mindset yes and then and then the chungus mindset is like such a good like to write just i want to be i i want to be chungus maxing as hard as i can actually i chungus maxing

1715.054 - 1722.585 Ryan Broderick

I want a Reddit elf wife, and I want to learn to make bread, and I want to just have a Funko Pop bedroom.

1723.206 - 1732.9 Grant Irving

Yes. Absolutely. You need some very specific gum. Gum? It's branded to help your jaw.

1732.92 - 1741.357 Ryan Broderick

Oh, doughy and soft. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to start buying... I bet I could get a bunch of American apparel hoodies on eBay right now for like a pretty good price.

1742.638 - 1766.003 Josh Boerman

And I think like she was able to like get that Chungus mindset. She was on the forefront of that. And then right as around 2016, 2015, it sounds like right as sort of like this new fascism sort of esoteric nihilism is sort of ascendant among a certain section of the online and just like society generally. She was also first to that wave. She can really read the room.

1765.983 - 1773.095 Ryan Broderick

You are so right. In fact, that is literally what we have next for you, which is... Do you ever think about how much you think about awful things?

1773.175 - 1777.562 Josh Boerman

Yeah. Just day to day. It's like, I have to fucking think about Ayla.

1777.602 - 1792.446 Ryan Broderick

No, hold on. You know, you guys are so good at getting me to go off on tangents. I have to rant about this because Hasan Piker, I'm a fan. I think he's really talented. He's been on a fucking press tear lately since the Oscars being like,
